The fastest fat quarter quilts you ll ever make, these quilts are made using one basic 16 block. Because these quilts are so quick and easy, they are great for philanthropy projects, dorm quilts, or just a way to use up your stash. Each fat quarter of fabric will provide enough pieces for one block plus leftovers for the border. By using a variety of fabrics and varying the rotation of the blocks, you can make many bold and beautiful quilts. The more fabrics you use, the more flexibility you will have in arranging the blocks. Use the chart below to determine how many blocks are needed for the size quilt which you have chosen.

B. MAKE THE BLOCKS. Assemble units as follows: Join two 8½ x 8½ squares to make a two-patch unit. Press seams as shown below.

Complete block by sewing a 3½ x 16½ strip to the top of the three-patch unit. Press seams as shown. TIPS: Save time by chain piecing all the units of one size at a time. Strive for as much variety as possible when picking pieces for units and blocks. A few puffs of spray starch when ironing seams greatly improves accuracy.

Then sew folded border pieces to top and Join 3½ x 8½ rectangles to make side borders for quilt as follows: # of 3½ x 8½ Rectangles Sides Sew a 3½ x 3½ square to each end of the top and bottom border strips.

If your fabrics are smaller, you might want to pick up a few extra fat quarters. The folded border makes a nice stopping point for the eye between the body of the quilt and the border. However, if you plan to quilt your quilt on a longarm machine using an all-over design, you may prefer to omit that piece. For more patterns and designs, please write, call or email: Annie Unrein P.
